April's White Lodge Walk
posted by Chris at 17:21
Just back from the White Lodge walk at Rutland Water. Another good turn out; and even the weather was kind(ish) - it didn't rain, but when the wind got up and the sun went in it did get a bit chilly.
As always, nice to see people and beasts, and a chance to have a bit of a chat and swap doggy stories. It seems there are few people out there who read this!!
The looks from other people at these walks always makes me smile. I suppose if you've gone out for a Sunday afternoon walk, and are presented with a rather large gathering of greyhounds, lurchers and other assorted beasts, it must be quite a daunting sight. But it does get people interested, and often gives a chance to spread the word of the Gospel according to White Lodge. There may possibly have been a convert; back at the car park, Lynne borrowed Jack - the failed foster - to show off to some people who were interested in Greyhounds. Given the selection available, not sure why Jack, but I'm sure there was a method in the madness (or should that be the other way round?).
Anyway, here's a few pics from today. Should you want to copy any of them please feel free. I would appreciate comments (use the link at the botom of the post) as to the names of the dogs (and people) to improve the captions.
At Rutland Water
Scaring the Sheep - NOT
Now this lot would scare you -
the people that is
Not impressed by the Paparazzi
A very handsom lady
The Beasts!! plus one
Dog I Most Want to Take Home
Actually there were two; this chap and a beautiful Saluki, who looked just like Izzy (our saluki lurcher who died last year).
